Biden unsurprised by report of Prigozhin's death

US President Joe Biden said he was not surprised by reports that Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin had died in a plane crash. The White House said Biden had been briefed on the crash and he told reporters he did not know for a fact what had happened.

"But I’m not surprised," Biden said.

"There is not much that happens in Russia that Putin is not behind, but I don’t know enough to know the answer."
